How does it work when you disable “CharacterAutoLoads”? When running the game, it just loads the camera view and nothing else. Kind of stupid when it comes to this type of stuff. lol
edit:
As i do some reading, I see that this is more ideal for round based games that have finite lives? Not something you could do for a TDM type scenario where people are constantly respawning every handful of seonds?
Do you have any further plans with this? It’s quite good, and updating it with some of the stuff others have mentioned/input on would be quite awesome! the modular idea is also a really sound idea.
Other wise, great creation! I plan on using it, especially since it’s got the layered clothing integration.
What are you doing for “destroy” and “delayTime” variable? I wanted to give your addition a try.
I also put the “oldColGroup” right under the “ragdollMe” function. I imagine that’s where you meant to put it?
I forgot to say that earlier, but you will have to load the player character manually on joining while this setting is off.
Haha! Makes sense, which is the conclusion I saw when reading up on the method you used.
Do you have an individual script you made to load in players manually, or is there another method to this? I’m eager to get your portion working so I can see it in action. lol
Could you pleeeeease make a module script so it easier to ragdoll/unragdoll?
I got a message saying collisions were bugged so I’ve made a small change to it. I also included an update to the collision group system changing it to the newer naming system.
I know I had a discussion regarding modularity before, but I have no clue when I can get to that yet. There’s a lot of plans on my plate with UGC stuff in the future.
I’ve converted this into a module for easy use and removed the use of the client events as they weren’t needed.
All you need to do is stick this in ReplicatedStorage and require it in the server.
You still need the CharacterSetupScript labeled HumanoidStarterSet in StarterCharacterScripts
Hope this helps

I was lookign for a replacement ragdoll that didn’t need events. And all-in-one but i noticed some bugs.
Going in water makes the character spam the swim emote and they just fall down in the water with no ability to swim or control the character.
Are you able to ragdoll a player without killing them?
Is it possible to toggle the ragdoll on and off. Your example only shows how to turn on ragdoll on death.
I have exactly the same problem in water, any solution?
Hi I got an idea about the freeze ragdoll, you could maybe just use AssemblyLinearVelocity (but be aware, I removed the variables)
local function ragdollFreeze(character, state)
local upperTorso = character:WaitForChild("UpperTorso")
task.wait(1) --Time left before it checks body.
while upperTorso.AssemblyLinearVelocity.Magnitude > 5 do -- it should stop moving before anchoring
task.wait(0.5)
end
task.wait(0.5)
for i,v in pairs(character:GetChildren()) do
if v:IsA("MeshPart") then
v.Anchored = true
end
end
character.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = true
end
theres weird jumping physics if you are falling, turning midair, in shiftlock, and holding spacebar at the same time. for some reason you jump 2 times higher
I went through some of the code and removed this one line that changes the Custom Physical Properties for the character parts. I’ll leave it for the players to decide if they want to modify it, because it seems to be causing undetectable issues. Plus it made warnings in the output.
Right out the box though, the character ragdolls may feel a lot more “airy” now, but maybe this could fix that problem. Otherwise, maybe it’s a typical humanoid:() issue.
i was wrong, your system is fine. it seems to be a roblox bug. if the workspace gravity is lowered, as well as jumppower, youll jump higher while turning. im working on reporting this
Hello, I am trying to port this to R6. I’ve replaced all of the R15 limb names with the R6 ones, but the ragdoll doesn’t work properly, because R6 and R15 rigs are vastly different from each other in ways that I do not really understand. It seems too stiff, and it also freezes in place once it hits the ground. Would anybody be able to help me on this? I’ve commented out the LinearVelocity and AngularVelocity parts of the code due to them making the player fly:
Here are my slightly edited versions of the scripts:
local SOCKET_SETTINGS_R6 = {
head = {MaxFrictionTorque = 150, UpperAngle = 15, TwistLowerAngle = -15, TwistUpperAngle = 15},
torso = {MaxFrictionTorque = 50, UpperAngle = 20, TwistLowerAngle = 0, TwistUpperAngle = 30},
arms = {MaxFrictionTorque = 150, UpperAngle = 90, TwistLowerAngle = -45, TwistUpperAngle = 45},
legs = {MaxFrictionTorque = 150, UpperAngle = 40, TwistLowerAngle = -5, TwistUpperAngle = 20},
}

if limbName == "Head" then
return "head"

Thanks for any/all help! Amazing module, sorry to bother you with something you (probably) intentionally didn’t include.
The sockets might not be correctly forming. See if the limbManager() parameter is getting the correct names from the Motor6Ds in the HumanoidStarterSetR6. They might be using a different naming schema under R6.
local limbMgr = limbManager(motor6d.Parent.Name)
Thanks for the fast reply!
And yeah, that was it! The reason why is because each motor6d is stored in the torso on r6, but on r15 the motor6ds are stored in the corresponding limb, so I needed to edit that code a little bit. It ended up looking pretty good, but I think I’ll need to edit the socket settings a bit because the limbs move a bit funny. Also, I was able to add the linear and angular velocities back, which is good.
Are you able to share your reimplementation?
